There is a poster here whose dad was in one of the Towers on 9/11

God Bless America.

I think of this kid often ... don't know why. I hate this day in history. Well, tomorrow, but you know what I mean.

Great post

Such a sad day.

Sad day obviously. But creepy day.

My work at the time took me past Bush IAH. Long slow drive up Hwy 59 and NO PLANES.

Same here. I remember calling my GF at the time to tell her not to go to class and to come home because class was going to be cancelled anyway and at the time there was hysteria everywhere.

I was in college and my classes were mid day so I slept in pretty late that day. I had like 10 VM's on my landline once I woke up. I remember listening to the first message and thinking it was one of my buddies just being an idiot. Then the second message was saying the same thing so I turned the tv on and watched in horror what was happening. I didn't leave my house all day, I was glued to the TV.

(no message)

My dad was on a plane to DC when they reported the plane hit the Pentagon.

My sister and I were in high school (I was a jr she was a sr) and we had no idea what flight our dad was on bc he flew to DC for work so much.

Scared the shite out of us bc my mom was also a teacher at our school and she hadn't heard from him.

We finally got a call about 3 hours later that his plane got turned around as they were getting near VA and ended up being forced to land in TN. He and 3 other randoms from that flight rented the last car together and drove across 4 states dropping each other off.

I remember the crippling fear that my dad MIGHT be on the wrong plane (even though thousands of planes go to DC everyday) so I can't imagine what the guy who actually lost his dad on that day felt like.

I pray for everyone who lost anyone that day.

Terrible day.
